NFL Notes: Quarterbacks, Lions, Redskins

Quarterbacks

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN mentions that Kirk Cousins could end up being an interesting case study for quarterback contracts, given that he’s set to play out the year under another franchise tag.

Cousins will have made $44 million after the last two years, and could make another $28 million if transition tagged next year and as much as $34 million if franchised again, which highlights the value of quarterbacks going year to year.
